Bayscape Tour & Workshop
Create a beautiful yard, preserve local waterways, and protect the Chesapeake Bay.
Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC), a Baltimore County-based land trust and watershed restoration non-profit, is looking for people interested in learning about Bayscape gardens at a private residence. Bayscapes replace lawn with native plants that support wildlife, reduce landscape maintenance, and filter rain water from your yard, driveway, roof, or other hard surfaces.
This free workshop includes:
- Brief presentation about the benefits of adding native plants to garden.
- Tour of 3 different Bayscapes on the same block
- Information on how you can work with GVC to promote clean water at your home, business, or place of worship
Location: Private Residence – 7310 Greenbank Road, Baltimore, MD 21220
What to expect: Dress for an outdoor workshop (hat, sunscreen, sturdy shoes) and bring your own water bottle.
